About Us
From our roots in a small garage in Peckham to being one of the UK's largest national driving schools, it's been a fascinating journey. Although BSM is best known for teaching people to drive, we're also one of the largest providers of instructor training and a leading campaigner on road safety and driving issues.
BSM today
Backed by our heritage and our recent association with RAC, BSM remains one of the largest national driving schools, teaching more than 170,000 pupils to drive each year.
The post-war years
Throughout its history, BSM has led the industry in introducing tuition in schools, specialist driving courses and instructor franchising.
The early years
Since Stanley Roberts started the British School of Motoring (BSM) in 1910, it has grown as an integral part of the motor industry. In fact BSM played a key role in setting up the first practical driving test.
